It appears that I am doing something wrong.
I issue the command
lpadmin -p laser1 -o job-page-limit=3
I restart cups (/etc/init.d/cups restart)
I go to a client and it STILL let's me print over the 3 pages.
OK, in the cups admin module, it never lists page numbers so I thought I
would settle for what it DOES list, which is size. I set my job-k-limit
to 200K and it still let me print 500K jobs.
I'd be eternally grateful for some help. |

Then you reset the page limit to whatever it was (unlimited)

Yes, you restarted cups. Put it in the cups.conf file if you want it to
be persistant |

I tried this:
minnie:~# lpadmin -P laser1 -o job-page-limit=3
lpadmin: Unable to set the PPD file:
You must specify a printer name first!

I understand that now. Makes perfect sense.

Gonna try that.
What I have seen is that cups apparently does not KNOW the number of
pages. Is this because I don't have a specific PPD associated with this
printer??
Thanks for the reply! |

OK Your printer isn't named laser1 then.
You could try the webinterface to cups
localhost:631 to find out the printername
You can get/make a PPD file from linuxprinting.org

Can't help you with that one. I know a little about cups but not that much.
